Toyoka Cpt. Leon Gyroheart	Well, I've been thinking; since Blizzard modified their warcraft 3 engine (heavily) in order to create World of Warcraft, do you guys think it would be possible for a small group (or perhaps a dedicated group) of people to create something similar? Blizzard allows modifications to create custom content but can it go as far as creating your own game? Will they send a C&D? Or perhaps have you join the Blizzard team? I wonder if it is even possible to get as far as Blizzard did in editing the Warcraft 3 engine. What are your thoughts on this? Edited by: Toyoka

TheOneKnownAsMe	Heh, there are projects such as Warsoc and the JNGP that have extended functionality to WC3 World Editor (there are even files out there that allow you to enable Bloom/HDR effects in-game), but no one has been able to mod the actual engine, as that would require access to the source code. I highly doubt Blizzard will ever release the source for the Wc3 engine.
